TOPOTEK1：位于爱尔兰首都都柏林的新Bord Gais网络中心呈现了两个元素之间的视觉互动：建筑及其周围的景观。该场地位于都柏林东北部的一处三角形地块上，靠近高速公路，该公路北面与场地接壤。为了应对这种特殊的城市基础设施的“楔形”条件，我们的设计试图融合和戏剧化这些对立元素之间的相互作用。

TOPOTEK1：The new Bord Gaís Networks Center in Ireland’s capital of Dublin presents a visual interaction between two elements: the building and its surrounding landscape. The site is located on a triangular property in the northeast of Dublin close to a motorway, which borders the site to the north. In response to the “wedged” conditions this particular urban infrastructure, our strategy seeks to merge and dramatize the interaction between these opposing elements.

一系列的绿色屋顶将建筑与周围环境融为一体。几何屋顶上的植物是农业景观的另一种体现，其充满活力的绿色和独特的表现形式。青翠的草地和灌木组成了不同种类、不同质地和高度，形成了鲜明的对角线和三角形的景观。其图形模式可以被看作是相邻的高层建筑的二维标志，也是在木板路上一种三维体验。随着季节的变化，植被以生动的自然变化赋予几何景观以生机。

A series of green roofs serves to disguise and blend the building into its surroundings. Geometric rooftop plants emulate the agricultural landscape, with its pastiche of vibrant greens and distinct forms. A verdant palette of grass and shrubs comprising different species of various textures and heights generate a striking landscape with sharp diagonals and triangular forms. The graphic pattern can be perceived as a two-dimensional insignia for the adjacent, tall building or as a three-dimensional experience as seen from the boardwalk. The vegetation, which changes with the seasons, enlivens the geometric landscape with animated motion.

与原始屋顶形成对比的是，建筑内部的六个庭院在建筑体量中表现出的令人惊喜的、怪诞的开口。仿佛来自另一个不同的世界，这些庭院各自覆盖着不同的、引人注目的流行粉彩色调的点状表面，与圆滑和棱角分明的绿色屋顶植物相反，它们代表了当代风格的集合，引用了英国园林的折衷主义。从中心的屋顶公园开始，每个庭院都可以被视为独一无二的荒诞景观。

In contrast to the pristine roofs, six courtyards inside the body of the building manifest as surprising, grotesque openings in the built volume. As if from a different world, these courtyards are covered with dotted surfaces in different, striking pop pastel shades. As opposed to the sleek and angular green rooftop plants, they represent a contemporary collection of styles that references English landscape garden eclecticism. From the Center’s rooftop park, each courtyard can be seen as a unique folly in the landscape.

通过对景观和建筑之间对比鲜明的相互关系的处理，我们创造了一个将两者融合在一起互动的对话。

By playing with the contrasting interrelationships between landscape and architecture, we create an interactive dialogue, at times merging the two components.
